pegasys label

I am using Pegasys 180mug q/wk as an off label use to treat Polycythemia Vera and it works well.I will have to take this med the rest of my life. I am aware of the short term side effects, but what about long term side effects? What can I expect years from now?

I was wondering if there have been any studies comparing Pegasys and Pegintron, and if one has better SVR numbers than the other or was more tolerable. I am new here so I hope I am posting this in the correct forum.

I just noticed that my interferon also has the warning label, but only because I saw this posting. My prescription label was covering the warning label so I hadn't noticed. Of course I've used the pads because I didn't see the label. Not very responsible of them me thinks.

Another item which you could bring (if available) to avoid a potential issue is the information label included on the top of the outer shipping box. My Pegasys label includes the Rx #, the doctors name, my name, home address, phone number, etc. You could tear off the top of the box and include in the cool pack in case you're questioned. My syringes don't have my name on them, but the Rx # and Pegasys name. Pegasys included the starter kit for me also. Lots of good stuff inside.

My previous experience was an unsuccessful initial tryst with Pegasys. After relapse, my GI doc insisted I take a referral to a large hepatology transplant and research clinic. As a relapser, I assumed I was going to start again with Infergen, which is FDA labeled for this purpose. The new doc said that while he’d certainly prescribe Infergen, his experience was such that it wasn’t that effective. Without delving in to the mechanics of the meds, he suggested I try switching to Pegintron.

Is there any person experienced with Pegasys? my docor recommended it with me weekly injection. Please suggest if you have any knowledge about this medicine.

By wiping down the outside of the unit the container itself became opaque. With the syringe I peeled back the measurement label and could see that the liquid was clear. Oh so crazy. I'll talk to someone tomorrow and get the proclic replaced. New shipment on tues. too. Thanx for responding.

it is important to note that COPEGUS should never be given as monotherapy. See PEGASYS Package Insert for all instructions regarding PEGASYS dosing and administration. 2.1 Chronic Hepatitis C Monoinfection Adult Patients The recommended dose of COPEGUS tablets is provided in Table 1. The recommended duration of treatment for patients previously untreated with ribavirin and interferon is 24 to 48 weeks. The daily dose of COPEGUS is 800 mg to 1200 mg administered orally in two divided doses.

t allow us to use Viread for hbv (No AMM for HBV actually even 10 years after its release) also in my country interferon the first one not pegasys is still the first line then they will stop giving you medication, if relaps, Lamuvidine si the first choice... i have money to buy Viread even if its is 400 euro its not a big deal... i can go to europ every 3 months to buy the medication and do the tests, at least until we see a complete functional cure in the near future.

After completing 4 weeks of the triple combination regimen and a follow-up period of four weeks of Pegasys plus Copegus, all patients will then receive 40 weeks of open-label standard of care dosing under a separate protocol. Results from the 500mg and 1500mg dose cohorts in 50 treatment-naïve patients chronically infected with HCV genotype 1 indicated: * Following 4 weeks of treatment with R7128 1500mg BID with Pegasys plus Copegus, patients achieved a mean 5.

Also really important to avoid HFCS - high fructose corn syrup - as studies suggest that it's linked to liver scarring. And it's in just about everything with a label on it. Check this: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/03/100322204628.

That sounds about right but truly the only way to make sure is to look through your papers or on the label or call your doctor. Could you have possibly misunderstood him? I just mean not knowing more of the facts 400 mg of Riba a day seems low. The first week can be really anxiety provoking just getting everything set up and waiting for side effects to happen. You mentioned a nurse called you to check on you. Maybe you could call her to make sure.

NCT01331850 accepts those who have previously taken an HCV protease inhibitor? The inclusion/exclusion criteria does not mention this, only that previous treatment failures are ok as long as treatment ended more than 12 weeks before. I assume this means SOC. ???

I was forced out of Pegasys when the generics became available at 01/01/2006. I hated it but all the research showed there was no difference. Still, I would have preferred to stay on the name brand. That must have been pretty distressing to see that label that looked like it was printed in a basement. I wonder why??? My guess is you will have no choice except to pay full price for the ribavirin you were taking. I always wondered if the change led to my relapse, but who could ever know.

here's an example of a label that says do not use if you have --- thyroid disease Caution: Do not use BreastSuccess if you are pregnant, nursing, or have any of the following conditions: high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid disease, glaucoma, diabetes, difficulty urinating due to prostate enlargement, or if you are now taking a prescription monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (certain drugs for depression, psychiatric or emotional conditions, or Parkinson's disease), or for two (2

The nurse gave me the Pegasys injection intramuscular in my arm instead of subcutaneous? Will that have any effect on the course of treatment? Does it have the same efficacy?will I still benefit from the injection in the same intended way?

I came from Afghanistan .I want to buy pegasys because it wouldnt found in my country, How can I get pegasys ???

then he recommend Pegasys, injection po siya for 48 weeks, Salamat sa Dios kasi he lead me to my new Dr. I believe that God has a plan for all of us. inform you guys what will happen. after I'm going on my third week now taking this medicine after the fourth week I will have my sgpt test. I will update you guys on the result.

Make sure you emphasize that there are floating particles in the Pegasys. A light yellow color is normal but floating particles are not. Drug company literature states (see page 2) http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/638650?post_id=post_3464276 1. DO NOT USE Pegasys if it is cloudy, 2. DO NOT USE Pegays if it has particles in it. 3. DO NOT USE Pegasys if it is any color but clear or light yellow.

I start pegasys in July. Are the side effects really bad? I know everyone is different.. Do most people lose some of their hair? I just wanted info from someone that has been on this.

Has anybody out there been treated with COPEGUS and PEGASYS? I saw a gastroentoligist today and he has ordered all sorts of blood work, but says if I start treatment this is what he would give me. I asked about the new VERTEX drug coming out next year and he said it probably wouldent be out that soon.
